A sign shall be removed by the owner or lessee of the premises upon which the sign is located when the business which the sign is located when the business, which it advertises, is no longer conducted on the premises. If the owner or lessee fails to remove it, the Zoning Administrator shall give the owner 30-days’ written notice to remove it. Upon failure to comply with this notice, the Administrator or his or her duly authorized representative may remove the sign at cost to the owner. Where a successor to a business agrees in writing to the Administrator to maintain the signs as provided in this zoning code, this removal requirement shall not apply.
